CD PREVENTIVE CARE

No!

• Compact discs are not affected by small particles of

dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so

they should be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry

cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight

outward from the center.

• Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type

of disc cleaner, record spray, antistatic spray or liquid,

or any other chemical-based liquid, because such

substances might irreparably damage the disc’s surface.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature

or high humidity for a long period of time, because

these might warp or otherwise damage the disc.

• This compact disc player is designed for use with

following types of disc only. Never attempt to load any

other type of disc into the unit. The unit will also play

8-cm (3-inch) compact discs.

• Be sure to use only CD-R and CD-RW discs made by

reliable manufacturers.

• Some discs cannot be played depending on the disc

characteristics or recording conditions (copyright-

protected in a particular way, etc.).

• Compact discs are not subjected to wear during play,

but damage to the disc surface when the disc is being

handled can adversely affect the disc’s play.

• Do not use cleaning discs or warped discs. All of these

could damage the unit.

To prevent a malfunction of this unit

• Do not use any non standard shaped CD (heart, etc.)

available on the market, because it may damage the

unit.

• Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it, because

damage to the unit may result.

Remote control

This remote control controls a whole system: not only

RX-E400 but also CDX-E400. Moreover, a cassette deck

(KX-E300) and MD recorder (MDX-E300) that level up

your system can be operated by it. Operating buttons for

each unit are explained on the pages below:

Receiver, RX-E400: p.8

CD player, CDX-E400: p.18

Cassette deck, KX-E300: p.23

MD recorder, MDX-E300: p.23

Battery installation

1 Remove the battery compartment cover.

2 Insert batteries into the battery compartment.

3 Replace the battery compartment cover.

Battery replacement

If you find that the remote control must be used closer to

the main unit than usual, the batteries are weak. Replace

batteries with new ones.

Notes

• Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.

• Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside

the battery compartment.)

• Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for

an extended period of time.

• If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching

the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing,

etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before

installing new batteries.

Remote control operation range

Notes

• There should be no large obstacles between the remote control

and the main unit.

• If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong

lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, etc.),

it might cause the remote control not to work correctly. In this

case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting.

Removing the protection sheet

The remote control is shipped with a protection sheet to

prevent the surface from being scratched during

transportation.

When removing the sheet, first put adhesive tape on an

edge of the remote control so that the tape sticks to the

sheet. Then peel the sheet off with the tape.

Note

• Do not scratch the remote control surface when peeling the

sheet off.

Receiving RDS data

RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system

by FM stations in many countries. Stations using this

system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to

the normal radio signal. RDS data contains various types

of information, such as PS (Program Service), PTY

(Program Type), RT (Radio Text), and CT (Clock Time).

1 Tune in the FM station. (Refer to page 10, or you can

simply press TUNER on the remote control.)

2 Press FREQ/RDS to choose the mode. Each time

you press FREQ/RDS, the type changes as follows:

The type of the program on the RDS station now being

received is displayed. You can make this unit search for a

station which is broadcasting a program of a desired

program type. (Refer to PTY program mode in the next

section for details.)

RT

Information about the program (such as the title of the

song, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station being

received is displayed by a maximum of 64 alphanumeric

characters, including the umlaut symbol. If other

characters are used in the RT data, they are displayed with

an under-bar.

• If the unit cannot find a station with RT data, the unit stops

searching and “NO RT” appears on the display.

CT

Current time is displayed.

• If the unit cannot find a station with CT data, the unit stops

searching and “NO CT” appears on the display.

Notes

• RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned to is

not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal

strength is weak.

• Some FM stations do not offer RDS service. Of those that do,

not all provide the same types of services. The types provided

by the received RDS station are dimmed on the display. Check

with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in

your area.

Optional settings for

RDS functions

The tuner has the following functions which make use of

the RDS data service. These are originally in operation

ON. However, you can turn these functions OFF, if so

desired.

1 Select the FM band by pressing TUNER.

2 Press DISPLAY to display the current time.

3 Press FREQ/RDS.

4 Each time you press PTY SEEK MODE the display

will change as follows:

1. CT = CLOCK (ON/OFF)

The tuner corrects the time of the built-in clock

automatically by synchronizing it with the CT

data on the RDS station being received.

• If you receive an RDS station of some other

country, the built-in clock is synchronized with

the time setting of the country.

• If the built-in clock is not yet set for the current

time or reset due to a power failure, etc., it will be

set for the time of the CT data automatically,

whether this setting is ON or OFF.

2. LOCAL = CT (ON/OFF)

If the RDS station being received employs the

local time (summer time, etc.) data service, its

time is displayed in the CT mode.

3. A.M. = RDS (ON/OFF)

RDS stations are searched instead of all FM

stations by the automatic preset tuning operation

when the setting is ON. (Refer to page 11.)

4. RT SPEED: ±0

Changes the scrolling speed of the radio text

decreasing the value and, in turn, reducing the

speed.

Control Range: ±0 to ±3 (Preset value: ±0)

5 Choose the function ON or OFF by pressing PTY

SEEK START, confirming it in the display. Press

PTY SEEK START repeatedly to change the value

for RT SPEED.

• If there is no operation for about 20 seconds, this

mode is cancelled and turns into the frequency

display. If the station has PS data, it turns into the

PS mode.

6 Press FREQ/RDS again to restore the frequency

display mode.
